ROLLING COLTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 340,906, dated April 27, 1886.

Application tiled January 21, 1886. Serial No. 189,336. (Nomodel.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HOWARD H. BUTLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Canton, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bolling Colters, and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, in which- Figure l is a side elevation showing colter attached to aplow-beam. Fig. 2 isadetached perspective View of the frame. Fig. 3 is a detached View of the pendent arln or bracket. Fig. 4 is a detached view of the connectingarm. Fig. 5 is a detached view of the colterarms.

The present invention has relation to rolling colters; and its nature consists in the different parts and combination of'parts hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the gures of the drawings.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the frame, which may be substantially of the form shown in the drawings, and is securely attached to the beam of a plow in the ordinary Way. The frame A is provided with the parallel arms a a, which are located substantially as shown, and are for the purpose hereinafter described. To the bottom or under side of the frame A is securely attached the pendent arm or bracket B by means of the clamping-bolts b b, and is so arranged that said pendent arm or bracket,together with the different parts attached thereto, can be adjusted laterally to any point desired within the limits of the parallel arms a a, thereby adjusting the colter proper to either a right or left hand plow. To the top or upper portion of the pendent arm or bracket B is attached the top or upper end of the connecting-arm C by means of the clamping-bolt c. The connecting-arm Gis provided with the corrugated or serrated surface D, which ts on the corrugated or serrated surface D', thereby securely holding the connecting-arm C at any desired point within the limits of the bent or curved slot d by means of the clamping-bolt d. To the bottom or lower end of the connectingarm C are attached the colter-arms E by means of the socket or eye F, said parts being arranged substantially as shown in Fig. 1, and

'are held in proper position by means of the collar or washer e and the pin e. On opposite sides of the socket or eye F are located the extensions or feathers f, which it into the grooves or recesses f, and are for the purpose of' limiting the lateral movements or motion of the colter-arms E and the colter-wheel G.

It will be seen that by means of the corrugated or serrated surfacesDand D the curved slot d and the clamping-bolt d the colterwheel G can be adjusted either up or down, as desired, and at the same time can be held perfectly rigid at any point desired. It will also be seen that by means of the parallel arms c a, provided with the slots or grooves a a', the colter-wheel G, together with the arms E, can be adjusted either to the right or left when the connecting-arm O stands at any angle without causing the colter-wheel G to assume an inclined position; or, in other words, the colter- Wheel G will always be in a perpendicular position without reference to the lateral adjustment of said colter-wheel G.

In use the colter-wheel G is adjusted to the required height, when the clamping-bolts b b are loosened, and the pendent arm or bracket B is adjusted either to the right or left to the point desired, and the clamping-bolts b b properly tightened.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The frame A, provided with the parallel arms a a, and having attached thereto the pendent arm or bracket B, provided with the connecting-arm C, having mounted thereon the colter-arms E, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. The frame A, provided with the parallel arms a ct, having attached thereto the pendent arm or bracket B, the connecting-arm C, attached to said pendent arm or bracket D, and the corrugated or serrated surfaces D and D', substantially as and for the purpose specified.

3. The combination of the frame A, provided with the parallel arms are, of thependent arm or bracket B, provided with the slot d, of
